Hawkish patriot with a devolutionist streak

Who you are

You want a Britain that's serious about hard power — more defence spending, more support for Ukraine, no illusions about Russia — while also believing Westminster hoards too much for itself. Yours is a vision of a muscular, self-confident state on the world stage that nonetheless lets go of its grip at home, pushing power out to regions like your own.

Vs Britain

You're rarely an outlier — you sided with the national majority on 24 of your 30 recent votes, and on the big defence questions (the Moscow test, the £80bn target, backing Ukraine) you're not just with the crowd, you're near-unanimous with it. The one real break: you rejected the £8.6bn Global Combat Air Programme even as seven in ten Brits backed it, suggesting your hawkishness has limits when the bill looks like corporate largesse rather than deterrence.

On your patch

Your local area votes as a bloc of one so far, but tellingly it mirrors you almost perfectly — on Burnham's power-transfer agenda, North Sea drilling, and defence spending alike, where you go, your patch has gone too.

Blind spots

For someone this decided on defence and devolution, you've cast no scored vote on immigration, welfare's finer detail, health, housing or education — the domestic terrain where a right-leaning economic instinct usually gets tested hardest.

What's next

This is early days — twelve scored votes is a sketch, not a portrait — but the lines are already clean: hawkish abroad, devolutionist at home. Vote on immigration or welfare reform next and watch whether that instinct holds; we'll be back next week with a sharper picture.
